Only These Words

In a castle down a long road
A little girl was born
To a king and to a queen and
Her mother’s eyes welled with tears of joy

Staring at the tiny face
Of a miracle she made

She would say: I love you
She would say: I love you

The summer came and went, autumn rolled in
The trees all stripped to bone
Daddy’s little girl in his arms while
They sit upon his throne

Who is that thief hiding in the dark?
Just a little girl who stole his heart

He would say: I love you
He would say: I love you
He would say: I love you

With only these three words repeating
A simple greeting but it’s all we want to hear
And clever lips can be misleading
A tongue can fly away and won't come down
But it’s only these words we need right now

Six o’clock a.m., her alarm rings out
Awoken from a dream
No more castle down a long road
And no more kings and no more queens

But she’s a princess nonetheless
And a handsome prince is what she’ll get

He will say: I love you
He will say: I love you
He will say: I love you
He will say: I love you
He will say: I love you
